Chapter 224: Defending the City

"Xiaotian, I really want to thank you this time, if you hadn't killed the other party's general, we wouldn't know how to deal with it!" Han Lei said.

Yang Xiaotian looked ahead in front of the city wall, although he had repelled the enemy army, but all this was only temporary, seeing that the black cavalry had just retreated less than ten miles and knew that it was not so simple.

Wen Danxin said: "This war is different from previous battles, this time it is the fifteen countries united to defeat Ning, killing one of the other generals, they only need to change one and can attack again." What's more, according to what I have seen so far, although the other party claims to be the fifteen-nation alliance, what they see so far is only the four kingdoms of Xia, Zhuang, Yun and Southern Wei, and the rest of the countries have not yet been seen, and they should be coming towards Ning, and the strength of the four countries is already so unstoppable, if the fifteen countries are gathered together, the scene will be even more unimaginable. ”

Yang Xiaotian was silent, the current situation was indeed very critical.

Han Lei said: "My Daning's troops here are less than one-tenth, so there is nothing to worry about, and when our iron cavalry arrives, we can kill them without leaving a single piece of armor." ”

Wen Danxin shook his head, Han Lei had never led troops to fight, and he didn't know much about things on the battlefield, what he could know was that the strength of these four countries was just a test for the enemy, just to probe the reality of Ning Kingdom. What's more, there has never been a mistake in the secret report of the Secret Academy, and the fifteen-nation alliance army that the wing said is assembling on the southwest border may really be true. The siege of the northeast border by the four countries may be just a local order to attract the troops of the Ning State to come to the aid, and when the southwest front is empty, the coalition forces will attack the southwest border with lightning speed, and what will they resist at that time?

Considering the identity of Yang Xiaotian's prince, Wen Danxin said the worries in his heart and wanted to hear his opinion.

Although I don't know much about marching and fighting, I have always been false and real, real and false, and I really can't take it lightly. Yang Xiaotian said.

"Ahh

Yang Xiaotian asked, "Uncle Han, what's wrong?"

Han Lei's face was worried, and he said: "A few days ago, I flew a pigeon to the capital, saying that the situation here, and asking Your Majesty to send reinforcements, and yesterday I received a letter from the capital, saying that the reinforcements were already on the way to the northeast. If things are the way you say, how can that be?"

"Alas, confused!" Wen Danxin said, "A few days ago, you asked me if I needed to borrow troops from Your Majesty, didn't I tell you a long time ago, everything will be said after this battle is over, how do you know that you are arrogant!"

Han Lei didn't dare to reply, in this Chaotian City, Wen Danxin was the supreme commander, he just sent a hundred warriors over, and when he saw that the war was tense here, he stayed, planning to wait for the war to clear up before leaving, who knew that he would cause such a big trouble.

Yang Xiaotian knew that Han Lei had indeed done something wrong in this matter, but he couldn't bear to see him embarrassed, so he said, "General Wen, can you still support the war here?"

Wen Danxin said: "No matter how the other party declares war in the future, if I don't have to do it, I resolutely should not fight, and it is not difficult to support it for ten days and half a month." ”

Yang Xiaotian said: "Okay, I will leave immediately, go to the capital, and ask the emperor to transfer reinforcements back to the southwest." ”

Wen Dan saw that he didn't have much respect for Emperor Ning in his tone, and felt very strange, but at this critical juncture, he didn't have time to let him think too much, so he could only nod and say, "That's the only way!"

While he was talking, the sound of iron horses suddenly sounded outside the city.

Yang Xiaotian looked at the past, it turned out that the enemy's iron cavalry was under the leadership of a new general and rushed to this side, behind the iron cavalry was a large group of infantry, with siege equipment, the momentum was huge, and when walking, the sand and dust were rolling.

Seeing this, Wen Dan hurriedly asked the adjutant general to give orders and ordered the soldiers to fortify the city gate in case it was broken by the enemy.

The enemy army was getting closer and closer, and the sound of iron hooves stomping on the ground was like thunder, shaking people's hearts for a while.

Yang Xiaotian shouted at the archers around him: "Pour fire oil on the arrow, light it and shoot it again!"

"Yes!"

The archers poured fire oil on their arrows, set them on fire, and prepared their bows for fire.

"Put!"

Yang Xiaotian shouted, and countless rockets shot towards the enemy troops under the city.

"Ahh

Suddenly there was a wail, and countless cavalrymen were hit by arrows and fell from their horses, and the arrows fell on them, bringing up pieces of fire.

"Put!"

A second round of shooting had already begun in the city, and another earth-shattering shout rang out.

Yang Xiaotian looked down at the head of the city, the front army of the enemy army was killed and wounded, but the situation was still not optimistic, and there were thousands of cavalry behind, wearing armor and black iron masks on their faces, and they didn't seem to be afraid of the arrows in the sky.

"Catapult ready!"

"Put!"

Many boulders shot out from the top of the city, and the target was the cavalry wearing black iron masks.

"Boom-boom-boom-"

In the midst of the loud noise, no knight fell to the ground.

"Throw fire oil down!" Yang Xiaotian shouted.

"Yes!"

In place of the boulder were barrels of fire oil, which fell to the ground, and suddenly the flames were monstrous, and the raging flames quickly spread to the soldiers who fell to the ground, and countless soldiers were engulfed in the back sea.

All of a sudden, the ghost cried and the wolf howled, and the wail was earth-shattering, reaching into the sky.

"Stone-throwing!"

With Yang Xiaotian's order, many boulders fell downward, and everywhere they passed, patches of flesh and blood were blurred.

Duanmu Yao said: "It seems that it is not difficult to defend the city!"

Yang Xiaotian just looked at her and didn't speak. And Wen Dan's heart also wanted to speak and stopped, and his face was difficult.

"What's wrong? Am I not right?" Duanmu Yao asked.

Yang Xiaotian didn't answer her, but just asked Wen Danxin: "General Wen, how many arrows are left now, and how much oil is left?"

Wen Danxin sighed and said: "There are not many arrows left, according to this situation, as long as the enemy attacks again, all the arrows will be used up, as for the fire oil, there is not much left, because the northeast border has always been relatively peaceful, so the materials for preparing for war are much less than in other places." ”

"It's not the way to go. Yang Xiaotian said, and also stopped letting the archers continue to shoot arrows.

It's just that now there is a vast sea of fire in front of Chaotian City, and the enemy army has suffered heavy casualties, not to mention that it is impossible to go further.

"When-when-when-"

Seeing that it couldn't be attacked for a long time, it was already Mingjin who withdrew his troops.

It's just that everyone in the city knows that it will be another attack in a short time, and the enemy army will be wide and powerful, as long as a few more groups of dead soldiers are sent, there will be a moment when the arrows will run out in Chaotian City, and it will not be far from the city at that time.

Yang Xiaotian looked at the retreating enemy army like a tide, and bowed his head and pondered.

Wen Danxin said: "Your Highness, please hurry back to the capital and give everything to the [Shuqu Pavilion] Emperor, and I will guard it here." ”

Yang Xiaotian glanced at him and asked, "What are you guarding for?" Don't tell me about martyrdom!"

Wen Danxin said: "I immediately ordered the craftsmen in the city to immediately make arrows!"

Yang Xiaotian shouted: "No matter how fast the craftsman is, it will be a few days before the arrow is completed, can you guarantee that in these few days, the coalition army will not come to attack the city?" After speaking, he pointed ahead, "Do you see it, they just retreated a few miles, and they are still eyeing that place, maybe they will attack again in the next moment!"

Wen Dan rubbed his hands in his heart, and he didn't know what to do for a while, looking at Yang Xiaotian, he could only pin his hopes on His Royal Highness the prince who he saw for the first time.

Duanmu Yao suddenly said: "Behind the coalition army is the Yang family of Tianhe County, with my understanding of them, Chaotian City is broken, and it will definitely usher in the end of being slaughtered." And I heard that this time the killing god Ran Feihu is also in the coalition army, but I don't know if it is in this four-nation alliance, if it is really there, then the fate of Chaotian City will be even more unbearable. ”

"Ran Feihu?"

Wen Danxin's voice trembled a little, "I didn't expect that even Ran Feihu would come this time, it seems that the sky is going to kill my Daning!"

Yang Xiaotian was not so flustered, looked at Concubine Liu, and when he saw her, he also looked at himself, and the two of them remembered an agreement several years ago at the same time. Ran Feihu, he knows, he has heard about this person's cruelty for a long time, and he has long had the idea of meeting him for a while, if he is really in the coalition army, he will just have a deal with him.

Duanmu Yao said: "Yang Xiaotian, think of a way, there are more than 100,000 people in this Chaotian City, do you really look at it being slaughtered!"

Yang Xiaotian pulled her and Liu Feiyi aside, and said in a low voice: "I have an idea, I don't know if you dare!"

Liu Feiyi asked, "What way?"

Duanmu Yao said: "As long as I can save Chaotian City, nothing is what I dare!"

Yang Xiaotian looked at the sky and said, "It's getting dark, I plan to sneak into the enemy camp after nightfall, do you want to go with me?"

Both women nodded at the same time.
